I’m amazing myself
I went out today, and again I thought a couple miles and call it a day. But I just kept going! No idea where it’s coming from. It’s not the distance, it’s the ability to keep the pace going. I really don’t know what’s happening. I am sore, for sure, but I have enough to just keep going. Tomorrow I will take it a little easier I think.
Meanwhile, I have to find an apartment by next Thursday and things are getting a little dicey. Extra stress, it’s just one of those things that’s so much easier in the US. It’s funny, because in many ways living in Europe is better, but sometimes, things are just really messed up and backwards. Like everything is set up to try and be fool proof, and you know what they say about fool proof systems. That causes problems for everyone.
So I ran and ran and really mostly focused on the fact my legs were in pain. Thought a bit about how weird everything seems right now, and then thought about how I need an apartment, I need a place to live. Nothing amazing today. No great epiphanies, no deep philosophical triumphs. Just me and the road and stuff. Although I did think about how much I really enjoy my music mix when I’m running, and how I need to get the new De La Soul album and load that up. Funny thing that my best marathon was run without any music, but I just feel lost without it. It seems to me I have a song in my head all the time.
It’s part of the reason I tend to share music here. The fact I always have a song stuck in my head. Sometimes it has something to do with what I’m writing, other times, it’s just the shit that’s bouncing around up there. It’s probably the best way I have to express myself, because I’m not always confident in the words I use. So when I hear a message in a song, and I think it is something other people should hear, I share.
Have fun, keep running, and remember; if Gil can run then so can you!
